Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for automatically processing information on reading and / or writing on a card, in particular a magnetic card, for example of the credit card type, and / or an electronic card.
  • the card In the first known devices, the card is inserted by the user into a slot and is then conveyed by the device during the processing operations. These systems are relatively complicated to produce and therefore expensive. We then thought of using simpler devices where the card is kept in a stationary position during its processing and in which a locking device blocks the card in a fixed position removing the user from any possibility of removing it from the slot in which it was introduced during the entire transaction period. The recording and / or reading operations are then carried out by displacement of the corresponding magnetic heads. The card's locking device is absolutely necessary to prevent any fraudulent use of it.
  • An automatic processing device of this type is known in particular from US-A-4151 564.
  • the introduction of the card into a receiving slot causes, thanks to a fairly complicated mechanism, the triggering of a locking device which allows the card to be locked in position.
  • the object of the present invention is the realization of a device for automatically processing information of a magnetic card in which the card is kept in a stationary position during its processing and having a simple and effective locking device.
  • the device for driving the mobile carriage comprises a motor carried by the mobile carriage and a pulley in mechanical connection with the housing.
  • the pulley can be associated with a tensioned cable carried by the housing and which makes at least one turn around the pulley, the rotation of the pulley then causing the displacement of the mobile carriage along the cable.
  • the cable can be kept tensioned by means of a spring in order to ensure a constant tension while constituting a damping during starting and stopping of the engine.
  • the pulley is provided with a helical groove.
  • the mobile carriage can carry at least one ball guide guided by a cylindrical axis integral with the housing, and a caster guided by a groove parallel to the cylindrical axis, formed in the housing.
  • the locking device may include at least one card blocking lug.
  • the locking device is actuated by the flap via a second spring of higher stiffness than a first return spring of the lug.
  • the second spring can be constituted by a V-shaped leaf spring, the central part of which is taken around a stud fixed relative to the housing, the two branches of the V bearing respectively on the flap and on the lug.
  • the locking device can be constituted by a movable L-shaped part, at the level of a first branch, around a second axis fixed relative to the housing, and have a second branch penetrating transversely into the housing.
  • the mobile carriage can carry a clock track reading head in contact with a clock track secured to the housing.
  • the automatic control device can be activated by a card presence detector, so as to ensure a processing cycle.
  • the device comprises a housing 15 consisting of two side walls 20 having at its lower part recesses 37 having threads not shown and intended to allow the fixing of a lower plate 5 provided at each of its longitudinal ends legs 34 in them which are provided notches 33 intended to receive fixing screws.
  • Each of the side walls 20 is provided at its upper part with a groove 60.
  • These grooves 60 receive a plate constituting a plate 21.
  • the length of the grooves 60 is approximately equal to the width of the plate 21.
  • the plate 21 is held in stop in the grooves 60 by any suitable means.
  • the plate 21 and the grooves 60 can be dimensioned in such a way that the plate 21 is forced into the grooves 60.
  • a mobile carriage designated by the general reference 4 is capable of moving on a carrying axis 1 fixed at each of its ends on the side walls 20. This movement takes place by means of ball guides 2 carried by the mobile carriage 4.
  • the horizontal carriage of the movable carriage 4 is ensured during its displacement by a caster 22 rotating in a bearing integral with the carriage 4.
  • the caster 22 moves in a parallelepiped groove whose axis is parallel to the axis 1 This groove is shown in FIG. 2 on the reference 48.
  • a motor 6 is carried by a support 24 of the mobile carriage and drives a pulley 7.
  • the pulley 7 advantageously has a helical groove.
  • the tension of the wire 8 is ensured by a helical spring 9. Under these conditions, the actuation of the motor 6 causes the longitudinal movement of the mobile carriage along the axis 1, between the side walls 20.
  • the magnetic heads 3 and 3 ', one for reading the card and the other for reading a clock track 35 arranged in a recess 36 in the lower plate 5, are mounted on the block 24. It will be noted that the clock track 35 only exists when the card must be encoded or re-encoded (see French patent application 25 01 401 by the Applicant). On the other hand, other known devices for coding the movement of the mobile carriage 4 can be used.
  • the side opposite to the rolled edge 17 is extended at one end by a curved profile 16 'itself extended by a plate 16.
  • Locking pins 13 sliding freely in a stirrup 26 carried by the lower face 28 of the plate 21 are in mechanical contact with the flap 12
  • a caster 11 carried by the sleeve 10 is in contact with the plate 16 of the flap 12.
  • the flap 12 is in fact kept in contact with the caster 11 under the action of its own weight which can alone suffice and of the return force of the spring 32. Under these conditions, the pins 13 are in the low position.
  • a card is inserted into a slot 25 formed in the lower part of the plate 21 until it comes into abutment at 31 (FIG. 2).
  • This slot is constituted by a recess 30 of the plate 21 and by a plate 27 fixed to the lower face 28 of the plate 21 and covering the recess 30.
  • the presence of the magnetic card is detected by a device 14 disposed in the slot 25, which automatically controls the processing cycle.
  • the mobile carriage is actuated and moves longitudinally along axis 1 (to the right in Figure 1).
  • the caster 11 successively comes into contact with the curved profile 16 and then with the lower part of the flap 12, which has the effect of moving the pins 13 upwards.
  • the upper end of the pins 13 then passes through bores made in the plate 27 and in the plate 21, and comes to lock the card in position for the entire duration of the reading and / or writing processing.
  • Such processing can moreover implement several back and forth movements of the card during the transaction.
  • Said device is dimensioned in such a way that the blocking of the card is effective over the entire processing range thereof by the head 3.
  • FIG 2 we see the support 24 on which are fixed, in addition to the bracket 23, on the one hand two head support blocks 61 carrying the heads 3 and 3 'respectively, and on the other hand a bracket 41 on which the motor 6 is fixed.
  • the block 24 further carries at its upper part a boss 51 carrying a detection head 52.
  • the detection head 52 associated with corresponding marks carried by the lower part 29 of the plate 27, makes it possible to detecting the end-of-travel positions of the movable carriage 4.
  • the bearing 42 of the caster 22 is fixed to the stirrup 23 by a screw 43, its positioning being determined by a spacer 42 '.
  • the groove 48 parallel to the axis 1 is formed in the support 47 fixed by screws 46 to the lower part of the plate 21.
  • the lower plate 27 has an opening 40 bordered by a cover 38 allowing the head 3 to read the or the card tracks arranged in the groove 25 while preventing the user from having access to the head 3.
  • the pivots 13 are provided with a rounded lower part 53 which bears on the flap 12 and with a central part enlarged 49 serving as a stop for a spring 32 which is compressed between the central part 49 and the lower portion 29 of the plate 27.
  • the upper end 54 of the pivot 13 is planar.
  • the spring 32 ensures a return of the pivot 13 as well as of the flap 12 when the roller 11 is in contact with the plate 16.
  • the carrier axis 1 is mounted on one of the side walls 20 (the one on the left for example).
  • the boss 51 is then put in place with its detection system 52, and the stirrup 23 is fixed on the support 24.
  • the mobile carriage is then engaged on the carrier axis 1.
  • the plate 27 is assembled on the plate 21, as well as the support 47 (using the screws 46) on which the flap 12 has previously been mounted, after which the procedure is carried out. to the fixing of the stirrups 26 (on the plate 21) equipped with the pins 13 on which the springs 32 are mounted.
  • the plate thus equipped is then engaged in the groove 60 of the side wall (left) ensuring the engagement of the roller 22 in the guide groove 48 and the correct positioning of the roller 11 on the flap 12.
  • the engagement of the roller 22 in the groove 48 takes place when the head 3 is perpendicular to the opening 40.
  • the wire 8 is then immobilized at points 36 and 37 after having made at least one revolution on the motor pulley 7.
  • a motor control device 6 receives signals from the presence detector 14, and from the limit switch 52, as well as control signals from a transaction processing device.
  • the latter receives orders for the execution of the transaction, for example instructions given on a keyboard by the card holder, as well as the signals read by the head 3.
  • the control device then sends towards the motor 6 control signals corresponding to the rotation of the motor in either direction (more or less). More specifically, during the introduction of a card 14 into the slot 25, the signal from the presence detector 14 causes the motor 6 to be started by the control device.
  • the movable carriage 4 is driven longitudinally along the axis 1, towards the card, for example with a view to reading the latter for its identification.
  • the transaction processing device will then send control signals to the control device under the action of part of the signals read by the head 3 and orders given for the transaction, for example using a keyboard of dialogue.
  • the last order will be an order to return the carriage 4 to the rest position.
  • a signal produced by the limit switch 52 will then represent a stop signal for the motor in the rest position.
  • FIG. 4 represents a variant of the device for locking the card in the groove 25.
  • a support 70 carries two axes 71 and 84 respectively.
  • an L-shaped part 72 is mounted freely in rotation.
  • the small branch 73 of the L has an edge 79 extending from its end 74 towards the large branch of the L and being able to extend to the latter.
  • a helical spring 76 is hooked on the one hand to an axis 75 of the L-shaped part 72 and on the other hand to a flange 77 of a spring stopper 78 fixed to the lower part of the plate 21.
  • the spring 76 serves as a return spring to the part 72.
  • a flat spring 80 in the shape of a V is fixed by a central loop 83 to the axis 84 of the support 70. This axis 84 is located below the axis 71.
  • the lower branch 81 of the spring 80 bears on the flap 12 and the upper branch 82 bears on the lower part of the part 72.
  • the spring 80 has a stiffness greater than that of the spring 76.
  • the flap 12 is in the low position under the action of its own weight, which alone can suffice and of the return force of the spring 76 and the part 72 is practically no longer subjected to the action of the spring 80. It is therefore returned to the low position by the spring 76, which releases the end 74 of the part 72 from the slot 25 and allows the user to insert or remove his card .
  • the flap 12 is in the high position.
  • the spring 80 whose stiffness is greater than that of the spring 76 drives the part 72 upwards so as to ensure the blocking of the card.
  • the end 74 of the part 72 is located at the level of a housing 85 of the plate 21.
  • the card introduced into the slot 25 is pushed into abutment at 31 by the edge 79 in the form of a ramp of the small branch 73 of the L of the part 72. Since the part 72 is pushed upwards by the spring 80, it follows that the pressing of the card into abutment at 31 is ensured by an elastic force of determined intensity.
  • the edge 79 of the short side 73 of the part 72 is capable of absorbing variations in width of the card while ensuring its abutment under the action of an elastic force.
  • a ramp effect can be obtained by profiling the edge 79 of the small branch 73 of the L in contact with the card so that it is not perpendicular to the card when the latter is locked in abutment.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiments described.
  • the fact that the card is kept fixed during the transaction can be used to make the device usable with electronic cards.
  • a suitable connector can be placed at the level of the slot 25 so that the electronic card is inserted therein when the latter is placed in order to read its magnetic strip.
